I believed that the time Goldman Sachs winged into the Game (long before the IPO) it would kill Facebook slowly.
I can't believe that a valuation for FB can be that high without political corruption.
So $18.4 billion for a Social-Network with ~1 billion users, whose only income is using/selling AD-impact valuation Data.
(And in the future an AppCenter where users can buy FB credits to play Games.)
I think Google and Amazon have more Data to predict and raise AD-impacts than FB will ever have.
+The FB code has already been stolen. Every other stock would fall hard, but not FB.
- redwood 14y agoIt's the opposite: not wall st. screwing SV but SV screwing Wall St. on this one. Facebook is giving itself a super-high valuation, as high as they can get away with, because that way they get as much money from the initial stock sale as possible (rather than seeing Goldman flip their IPO'd stock for a pretty profit to Goldman rather than to Facebook). Since Facebook is the first SV company with a mega-IPO to be truly in tune with Wall St's tricks (LinkedIn totally blew it) there is indeed a good chance their stock price could head south after IPO. On the other hand the hype keeps things going so who knows...
